Loc on this is 43, 59.

This quest is a hell for hunters without a pet. Don't even try this.
Terrain and bridges make u loose 'line of sight', so u are able to fire up to 2 arrows before u get crushed by 2-3 furblog warriors in melee no way to survive the pull... no way to run due to the rapid respawn

--The first two relics are found when you walk in. Follow the little tunnel till you come to an opening with two bridges infront of you. At the end of both bridges are little caves with the chests that hold the relics. Careful: There are usually two guys within the caves and there's one (that's possibly on both) that patrols the bridge to your left.

--After that, keep following the tunnel. There will be a place to go infront of you, and tunnel leading off to the right that looks like it ""spiral's"" down. Follow the spiral tunnel. You will eventually come to another bridge that you may cross. There is no relic inside this cave, but a quest. Its up to you if you want to get it. The guy's name is Rageclaw, if I recall correctly...
**If you do go straight ahead, this will take you to a platform.

--Now, on that plat form, there's usually a guy standing in the middle, and one that patrols the bridge leading to the platform and another patrolling the little bridge that leads you down, along with another that walks on the other bridge straight ahead (or almost) of you. That's where you want to go. It's like a cave - when you first walk in there's approx. 2 guys in that little 'bubble'. There's a tunnel to your right which you want to take. That takes you to another 'bubble' in which there's approx. 2 more guys. Once you kill them, turn to the right and there's your chest with one of the relics sitting out on a 'deck' (looks like one, as it has a railing...).
**If you didn't go straight ahead, don't worry.

--If you get the quest, that's alright. Now, there's going to be another opening straight ahead, and once more, another that spirals down. Take the spiral first - There's another relic down there. This one is by that beloved Greenpaw dude...whatever his name is...Anyways, there's him (usually lvl 10ish or so) along with a lvl 8, 7, or 9. Once you're done there, move back up the spiral and take the opening on your right. Follow that. You'll come to a little arena-like area. There'll be a large pillar of stone in the middle, with guys walking around it. There IS a little cave bubble down there, but it HAS NO RELIC. This is where rageclaw's body lurks, so he might attack you. He patrols around the pillar. Now, there should be a little pathway to your left, taking you up to the platform. Kill the guys there. (I've describe approx. how many guys are there in the lil dot thing above this one.) You're going to want to take the bridge to your right, leading you into The cave bubble. Kill the guys there and take the one to your left to the next bubble, kill those guys. To your right is the 'deck' with your relic

Thank you to the post above by CharlzO, the guide was brilliant, I followed it and completed the quest SOLO as a level 9 Hunter (leveling to level 10 in cave, but getting no training and no pet). I used 4 Minor Healing Potions and died only once. I also completed both of the quests from Oben Rageclaw (https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=7317 https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=7317), The Sleeping Druid (https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=2541 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=2541) and Druid of the Claw (https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=2561 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=2561).

Their was no change in the amount of Mobs in the cave in patch 2.3, still being 2 or 3 mobs in the 'bubbles'.

Thanks again for the help!

Quick and dirty coordinates version:

Ban'ethil Barrow Den entrance: 43,58

Black Feather Quill: 43,61 in a small room across a bridge.

Rune of Nesting: 44, 60 in a small room across a different bridge. Same chamber as the Quill.

Sapphire of Sky: 44,62 in a small room at the very bottom of the chamber.

Ravenclaw Talisman: 45,57. Get there by taking the eastern bridge in that chamber. Clear the small room and take the tunnel on the left. It leads to the balcony that the chest is on.

An advice: Heartstone when you get all the relics - its enough pain in the ass finding the way out and killing all mobs again is just a waste of time

This quest is the reason Night Elves get the Wisp as their racial passive

I've done plenty of quests and I still think this is the hardest quest...

OH My god...

Priest.. just... lost for words.... Just don't even try, save yourself the pure agony and frustration of doing this quest.
I probably could have been in darkshore by now if I hadn't stupidly been determined to do every quest in my log.

I absolutely hate this quest, I always kept getting lost in the dens, looking for the last relic.

Banethil Hollow has changed since 4.0+ for the better. There is now a guide that will follow you around and will help you get to each of the relics via a green mist. She will also help with Rageclaw, who is at the top of the den.

PLEASE NOTE: When Rageclaw asks you to kill his physical body, it is in the locked room, which is next to his den. He is no longer patrolling the bottom of the den. I didn't read the quest text and spent a good 20 minutes running around trying to find him.

You no longer need a group to do this, which is a relief.

Dear God this area is so much more fun now. When I saw the quest to do this crap again I almost screamed. Then I saw the NPC helper and discovered she serves as a guide as well. Thank you Blizzard!

This quest is now SUPER EASY.

They give you a helper that follows you, fights, AND points you in the directions where everything is.

Not only that, but you can ask her where the exit is!

OK I just completed this quest, and it's very easy now. By the time I got to it I was already level 9 (druid) and the mobs are all level 7 I believe. Maybe there are some level 8 in there but there aren't many if at all.

1.) You talk to Citarre Mapleheart, the NE on the Saber next to the quest givers and she will put you on a Sentinel Nightsaber that will run you all the way to the entrance and you don't have to do anything. You don't even get aggro from the mobs you pass on the way there.

2.) You have to kill a few mobs to get into the ""cave"" proper, but it's maybe 3. The Shamans DO heal themselves so you want to open up on them as best you can. It wasn't difficult really. Once you are almost inside the door, or past the ""doorway"" a sentinel Huntress (Level 9) pops up beside you and helps you kill everything. You can also ask her where the relics are and this green mist guides you there.

3.) The mist is handy but disappears when you are in combat or actually as soon as the mist ""sees"" a mob in your path. Just ask the same question after the way is clear and keep going.

4.) Oben Rageclaw is at 45.0/53.45 and I wish I had gotten to him before I finished finding the relics because you need a totem that drops off the Shaman, but there were enough around I could still do it. The Huntress stays with you until you exit the ""cave"" and if you've set your hearth at the inn, you hearth back and you are right there with the quest givers.

No need to dread this one. They made it very easy to do save for finding Oben.
